About Susan G. Komen for the Cure®

Nancy G. Brinker promised her dying sister, Susan G. Komen, she would do everything in her power to end breast cancer forever. In 1982, that promise became Susan G. Komen for the Cure, now the world’s largest breast cancer organization and the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer with more than $1.3 billion invested to date. For more information about Susan G. Komen for the Cure, breast health or breast cancer, visit www.komen.org or call 1-877 GO KOMEN 2

Will you stand up and support a promise made between two sisters more than 25 years ago and help find the cures for breast cancer?

Cause Marketing Matters

A 2008 Cone/Duke University Behavioral Cause Study revealed that American consumers continue to have high philanthropic expectations for companies even amid the current economic crisis.

• 79% of respondents said they would likely switch from one brand to another, when price and quality are about equal, if another brand is associated with a good cause.

• When replicating the study online, results revealed that participants spent nearly twice as long reviewing cause-related ads versus general corporate advertisements resulting in a 19% sales lift. Consumers have an interest in corporate responsibility and they act on it.

• “This is clearly great news for brand managers, as every percentage increase can translate to millions of dollars in revenue.” – Gavin Fitzsimons, lead researcher for study Race demographics are available upon request.

Supporting Our Mission: Use of Funds

Our objective is to provide maximum return to support our mission to save lives and end breast cancer forever by empowering people, ensuring quality care for all and energizing science to find the cures. In the last 17 years, through events like the Komen Denver Race for the Cure, the Denver Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure® has invested over 23 million dollars in community breast health programs in 12 counties. Up to 75% of the net proceeds fund local breast cancer programs and at least 25% supports the national Susan G. Komen for the Cure Grants Program to fund research. Thousands of Denver women and men who could not afford breast healthcare have received screenings, education and treatments as a result of funds raised through the Komen Denver Race for the Cure each year.
